The Spirit Of Kings

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.  John 14:16-17

The prophets of Israel received the word of God, and kings were anointed to receive the Spirit of God... though not all of them opened the door of their heart. Now Jesus took these few fishermen, a tax collector, a zealot, and other disciples and promised them the anointing of kings - the Spirit of truth. And who did He just say was the way, the truth, and the life? Yes, Himself, and so it is His own Spirit who will come to them at the prayer of the Son. And the promise of this new Helper is forever. Were they, are we, humble enough to accept this anointing from the King of kings? 

And then to train to be kings in His service.
